Good Lord! I would vote for Bill White or Farook Shami over Obama!
I almost voted for Kinky Friedman over Perry in his 2nd session, but that was just because I figured he would always be to stoned with his energy czar, Willy Nelson to get anything done, and the Congress would run the day to day legislation.
Seriously, Perry has been solid on energy independence and free trade.
He has a battle with taxes that none of us likes.
See my post on this thread. There is my answer to you.
